Formula One 6th World Championship [2010 Edition]F1 2010-2016

[LewyOs]

Was a good race last night guys, enjoyed it.

Started on the softs from pole, but lost out at the first corner, went really wide and was behind shark33 who was on the primes.

Was definately quicker on the softs and knew I needed to get past to make my strategy work, but we were both very quick in a straight line and I didn't want to risk taking him out with a dive down the inside.

Tyres started going off around lap 3, couple of scrappy corners and I was down a couple of seconds from shark, lap 4 however I saw shark on the outside of turn 19 and past him, it was clear he had a puncture.

Pitted for the primes a lap later, and had an easy race to the finish from there.

I won't be able to make Melbourne this weekend, unfortunately I have to work, probably my favourite track as well.

Look forward to racing you guys again at Sepang.

You may want to look at leftys new thread kakundoo. I'm on my iPod so I can't link it to you but it's in the f1 2010 sub-forum.

Where's the sub forum.

Oh and well done again Lewis.

Hello racers
Sorry I didn't make it yesterday. I had problems with not knowing what time the race was. Personaly I don't understand the time clock thing. I was online and some other people were too but they went off line so I thought the race was later in the day, but come to find out you had already raced when I got back online. I'm glad that all went well and I will be there next week. Sorry again and look forward to racing with all of you.

Hi Octane, yes I did notice you on, I logged in about 1 1/2 hours before, then left again.

I send a message if I see you on next week, saying the time left till start.

Did your PS3 break Gyles?

Roh, can you consider my request to turn the rules down because that really messed things up for me and I did nothing wrong.

Plus with the patch coming out in roughly 2 weeks we can put the rules on full again then.

 

[fishfash]

Hi Jordy,

My PS3 is fine, I just went with the Xbox 360 version.

I did a side by side comparison of the game on the Xbox 360 and PS3 and found the Xbox 360 graphics had a much more vibrant / sharper colour to it along with a stable frame rate. I was very disappointed with the PS3 version, it's a shame, would have been nice to race against the old F1CE crew

Just out of interest how many people are there online on the PSN ? Public lobbies on Xbox Live appear to be quite empty 👎

EDIT:- Sorry to the OP, I saw the number 6 in the title thread and mistakenly presumed reference to 360.

 

[Kakundoo]

Sorry for abandoning, i've been busy because i'm moving house, plus I had a party at the weekend because it's my 18th today lol.

I managed to get he disc from the PS3, and when i'm settled in the new house i'm going to see if I can fix my PS3, wish me luck lol.

Also, Gyles, I have noticed that as I played the Xbox version round my girlfriend's house (That's right, a hot girl who likes F1 and gaming HELL YEAH! Lol). I've been considering getting the game for the Xbox instead. The graphics are good, plus if I can get a job soon, then I should be able to pay for online, but i'll see how things go. I've also been toying with the idea of getting a laptop and getting the PC version, but I think that'd be my last resort.

 

[fishfash]

Hey Kak, congrats on your 18th

I think the only way to play this game is with a wheel, Microsoft have abandoned their version of the FF wheel which imo is not a match on the Logitech Series Wheels and Fanatec no longer make a wheel for the Xbox either. So I think your best option is either PS3 or PC

:BAHRAIN INTERNATIONAL CIRCUIT POST RACE REPORT:

Oooh all the fun of the fair eh! First race and its getting exciting already!!

The puncture situation wasnt as bad as I thought it might of been. Obviously not having got one I would say that But as far as I can tell the bug seems to effect Bahrain more than any other circuit, so when you consider tonight it looks quite reasonable for the rest of the champioship.

Sorry to Jordy and D3 for a set of unfortunate circumstances. It seems D3 had issues with his XMB and Jordy had the incident at turn one. With regards to Jordys question, pending a majority vote I would be more than happy to turn down the penalty system. I basically put it on realistic as I didnt know quite what to expect. That said, I was more than happy with the racing on display last night. Everybody was fair and clean and any incidents were dealt with in the proper manner. Really satisfied with that. Thank you very much guys 👍 The season got off to a flying start!

Speaking of flying starts though... lol. I was giving you guys such a hard time about track etiqutte, steaming down to turn one I was so busy concentrating on everyone else I totally missed my braking point! Thankfully, and perhaps very luckily, I saw a gap and came off the brake.. spun the car through the back of turn one and managed to get through clean. Sheepishly I joined the back of the pack thinking 'you bloody idiot!' lol. I can laugh about it now, but if I'd of hit anyone I'd of been mortified!

As far as the race went it was pretty much incident free. Which is just how we like it eh boys. I didnt put myself in the best position to start with, my qualifying went terribly! I spun out on almost every lap. Sensible thing may of been to go and look at my tune, but I thought it was best to get a lap in! Long story short, I hadnt put in a fast lap until the 5 minute warning! Pressure was on. Eventually got an ok lap in, preparing for a better one and ... my fuel runs out! I had to crawl back to the pits and settle for 5th. What made it worse is that my tyres were only at 83% efficiency for the race I sturggled!

It wasnt all bad though. After my first corner incident I joined on the back of Zeeko and we had a tasty bumper to bumper battle. The short comings in my tune were most evident when I was following him and looking for room to pass. I just didnt have the confidence in my setup. Bahrain is a tricky one for me as far as tuning goes. For some reason whatever I try, when I go on the attack the track bites me in the ass. Very frustrating.

Anyway a couple of laps in I managed to capitalize on a mistake and gained a position. By this point though my tyres were falling off fast and I needed to pit. And thats where the excitement stopped really. I carried on by my lonesome, trying to put in fast laps with my horrible tune. Any overtaking after that was done either by me spinning and being overtaken, or giving a cheeky wave as I passed people in the pits. There were a few tense laps around the middle of the race with Stevi breathing down my neck. The pressure was too much in the end though and I gifted him a place. Next up was Douqs but he pretty much breezed straight by near the end

All in all an excellent race. A few minor hiccups with no shows and two guys getting the boot through no fault of their own, but hopefully we all learn and the next race will be even better!

Turns out he had a penalty so he dropped a position. Dont argue Thanks to lbs for being honest too. Good show buddy 👍 And thanks for the kind words Spag


Oh yes, I forgot to mention that when I post up these race reports, it will coincide with an update to the OP to include schedule changes.

Dont be afraid to give me feedback, this thread is for discussing anything and everything concerning the championship so hopefully we can keep on improving it. 👍

Thanks spag, you would be a god send for helping me cuz I don't want to miss another, sounds like you guys had to much fun and I missed out:tdown:

Thanks 4 the help

 

[Octane-Junky]

hey captan if donky fuzz does not show up this weekend would it be OK if I used the Willams car for the season?

 

[Shark33]

Then give me the Ferrari Oct. Pleease

 

[Captain Roh]

Dude... Dont double post. You'll be well annoyed if a moderator bans your ass and you cant take part in the championship!

As for DonkeyFuzz he made a genuine mistake same as you. He assures me he'll make the next race with no problems.


The cars ARE set to equal so you'll never be out performed, however I do understand a personal preference so make your feelings known and maybe someone will be willing to trade 👍

 

[DOUQA]

Thanks all for a great race. Cant wait for Melbourne.

I'd be happy if the rules were set to reduced. They've made the same mistakes with the penalties as were in F1CE. No provision for spinning out at certain spots. Sometimes you have to almost drive backwards to avoid a corner cutting dq. Also the lightest of bumps result in time penalties or grid drops when playing career mode.

 

[Spagetti69]

Out of interest why did lbs get a penalty? What happened.

 

[Peter]

Looks like you guys had fun.

 

[Captain Roh]

Out of interest why did lbs get a penalty? What happened.

I wondered this myself. However I've received no complaints so hopefully it was just an accident. That said I would like to know what happened, to further assess how well the penalty system is working.

Looks like you guys had fun.

We did mate. Sorry you couldnt join us. Judging by last weekend Melbourne is going to be amazing! 👍

 

[sj6071]

How does one go about being includedin these races? I'm new to the site.
Thanks

I wondered why you logged out on Sunday. If it is any help mate 9pm BST (British Summer Time) is 1pm Las Vegas time. If in doubt on Sunday just stay logged in from about 12.30pm your time and we will invite. See you at Melbourne on Sunday 👍

The UK is 8 hours ahead of you (that is untill the 31st of Oct)

 

[Zeeco_9]

Then give me the Ferrari Oct. Pleease

No no no!!! You are fast enough

 

[Shaggy Alonso]

Good news about punctures is that they have confirmed that they will reduce their frequency in the patch 👍

 

[Octane-Junky]

This may sound really stupid, What do you mean by double post? I thought this forum was to talk to other people about this championship. Did I do something wrong when asking my question? or am I not supposed to post right after another. If that is the case lesson learned.

 

[lbsf1]

Out of interest why did lbs get a penalty? What happened.

I got a really good start by going up the inside of everyone who ran wide. (I'm the force india in the good captains vid) putting me in a good position for the race, I then got a puncture on lap 5 and dropped to 5th. I got back to 3th by overtaking one and another having a puncture.
I had been driving on those tyres I had put on after the puncture for about 8 laps (so they were starting to go off). Foolishly I put them on instead of the other tyre type so I had to pit on the second to last lap so I used both tyres. I was running 3rd and was about to pit and I got a puncture on the last corner and span. I then quickly span it back round (because I knew it was nip and tuck how many places I would lose after the stops) I then got flashed up on the screen 20 second penatly for illegal blocking When there was no one within 20 secs of me????? I then pitted came out just behind stevi . I had about a 10 sec gap to spag behind me so as hard as I pushed I was still within 20 secs of him so dropped back to 7th, Down from 3rd if I had pitted for the other tyres when I had the puncture instead of putting the same type back on again.

When will the next race be and will it be at the same time?

 

[Octane-Junky]

Wanted to thank everyone for helping me with the time differance, with all your help there should be no reason for me missing this weekends race. Thanks again.
Sorry Shark the only person I'll trade cars with is Donky fuzz that is if he is interestad.

 

[Captain Roh]

Yeah dude, by double post I mean one right after the other. The mods dont like it so its best to just edit the last one you made if no one has posted since then 👍 As for asking questions this is absolutely the right place to do it. We'll all help as much as we can

When will the next race be and will it be at the same time?

Guys I'm trying to be as clear as I can, but there are questions keep cropping up that I've already addressed in previous posts. If I need to do something different please let me know, or else its just a question of people being lazy isnt it. No one likes repeating themselves.

As for times and dates:

when I post up these race reports, it will coincide with an update to the OP to include schedule changes.

Just to reiterate, if you're unsure of the time and date of the next meet check the opening post regularly. I will aim to update it after the races as soon as possible, but no later than tuesdays.

This one was overlooked as well i think:

With regards to Jordys question, pending a majority vote I would be more than happy to turn down the penalty system. I basically put it on realistic as I didnt know quite what to expect. That said, I was more than happy with the racing on display last night. Everybody was fair and clean and any incidents were dealt with in the proper manner.

Just make your opinions on the subject known and we can put it to bed 👍

Overlooked eh? Come on Cap'n.
